As a pet owner with a nervous rescue dog, I was not sure about dog boarding, but Laurel took the time to come to our home to meet our dog and invited us to her home with our dog. Once we were away, she was in regular communication and showed us images of our dog that told us she was comfortable and relaxed - the videos weren't posed. Any dog owner would know it was a dog doing dog stuff! Even better was that our dog came back from Laurel with confidence and calmness that she didn't previously have. For our dog, staying with Laurel was not just a place to stay, it was somewhere where she grew. Thanks to Laurel for caring for us and our dog.

The only reason I gave Laurel a 5 star rating is because there isn’t the sixth one to choose. This is the first time I tried to board my dog with SP, and the experience was way beyond my expectations. Laurel is more than a qualified sitter; rather, she is a true dog lover. From the way that she looks at my dog and from the way he reacts to her I can tell that they enjoyed each others company. My dog is newly adopted and is, understandably, quite shy. I worried if he could stand a whole week without us, but Laurel managed to become his best friend the second day he was there. My dog even lingered around the door and kept looking back when we came to pick him up. Can’t thank you enough Laurel!
